Soros-funded group launches first 2018 campaign ad with attack on Sen. Jeff Flake

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a group funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, announced Wednesday that it will launch the first anti-Republican television ad of the 2018 election on Thanksgiving, just 16 days after the Nov. 8 balloting.

In what is quickly emerging as a theme of the nascent 2018 campaign, the ad attempts to link a Republican incumbent — in this case, Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake — to Steve Bannon, former Breitbart editor and chief strategist for Republican President-elect Donald Trump.

The committee said the ad will air over Thanksgiving on CNN and MSNBC in Phoenix and Tucson, as well as on CNN in Washington, D.C., and continue into next week.

The 30-second spot features news clips in which commentators, including PCCC founder Adam Green, accuse Mr. Bannon of being white nationalist, and urges viewers to call Mr. Flake and “demand Trump fire Bannon.”
